Alfredo

Alfredo Leal

Postdoctoral fellow

Alfredo is developing modular systems for robotics manufacturing, with the aim of realising reconfigurable functional products by self-assembly of small programmable units.

Sarini

Sarini Jayasinghe

PhD student

Sarini is using Machine Learning approaches to detect and predict defects in Additive Manufacturing (L-PBF) builds based on photodiode measurements collected during the build process.

Galo

Galo Bermudez

PhD student

Galo is developing statistical and unsupervised learning tools to identify defects in Additive Manufacturing (L-PBF) builds based on photodiode measurements collected during the build process.

Olivia

Olivia Bridgewater-Smith

PhD student

Olivia is developing new design (and design tools) for soft robotic actuators, with the aim of simplifying automation of chemistry labs.

Lupo

Lupo Manes

PhD student

Lupo is developing dexterous manipulators to handle labware in Chemistry lab without requiring advanced sensing.

Sam

Sam Hills

PhD student

Sam is developing assistive robotic device to assist the rehabilitation process of patients who have suffered from stroke and other neurological conditions.

Peter

Peter Wright

PhD student

Peter is working on the design of the next generation of paedriatric powered wheelchair, to enhance independence and safety of disabled children.

Nikhil

Nikhil Reji

PhD student

Nikhil is developing a virtual assistant that, by using motionless motion tracking from depth cameras, can enable frail patients to perform rehabilitation exercises without constant supervision by a therapist.

Omar

Omar Elnaggar

PhD student

Omar is developing minimally-invasive wearable sensors to monitor sleep positions to prevent occurrence of musculo-skeletal issues.
